La Paz County Park, Parker Arizona




The Southern California Lazy Daze Caravan Club outing in April was to La Paz County Park in Parker Arizona. A great place and time for the start of this leg of our journey. We arrived on Tuesday, April 15, a 300 mile drive from home. This is a bit long for one day’s drive, but on a first day it is ok. Being early in the week, there were only about 10 rigs when we arrived. The park is right on the Colorado river and is the water cold!

The temperatures are getting warm, topping out at 92 on Wednesday. The prior weekend saw 100+ here, too warm for us without electrical hookups (for AC). The rest of the week saw the temperature topping out in the 80s and low 90s and in the 50s at night, great sleeping.

The town of Lake Havasu, with THE London Bridge, is just 30 miles north of our camp site so we had to go see it. The town is new and up scale. The developer of the community bought the bridge in 1969 and “built” an island for the bridge to go to. We had a very nice lunch overlooking the bridge.
